How it is made
Hibiscus from Zaria, yeast from a farmhouse
Zobo Saison uses a farmhouse yeast that gives pepper and clove, then dried hibiscus from Zaria market goes in after fermentation for colour and tartness.
A little fresh ginger finishes it. It tastes like the zobo your aunty made, but grown up, dry and spicy. Our Zobo Fizz soda uses the same hibiscus, without the alcohol.
